This guided backcountry SUV tour offers an intimate look at the wild beauty of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest — one of the largest remaining temperate rainforests on Earth.

Over 2¼ hours and 32 miles, you’ll travel from Ketchikan’s edge into a world of winding dirt roads, hidden valleys, and sweeping mountain views. It’s an off-the-pavement experience designed not for speed, but for connection — with the land, with your guide, and with the rhythm of the forest itself.

As your 4x4 SUV climbs through switchbacks and rainforest canopy, you’ll make scenic stops to step out, breathe, and take in the views. Even in mist or rain, the forest feels alive — streams glinting across mossy rock, ravens circling overhead, and fog drifting through the cedars.

Along the way, your Alaska-based guide shares insight into the ecology of the Tongass, the history of local logging and conservation, and what makes this region so ecologically vital to the planet.

This isn’t a thrill ride. It’s a guided immersion into the backcountry soul of Alaska — wild, raw, and beautiful in every kind of weather.

Whether you’re seeking photography, solitude, or a genuine conversation about the land, this tour invites you to see the Tongass as few ever do: from within.
